The Wood River Land Trust is seeking volunteers to help plant willows and chokecherry bushes at the Draper Preserve in Hailey.
Planting will be done from noon to 3 p.m. Thursday and Friday, Oct. 21 and 22.
The Land Trust is planting native bushes on eroded and trampled paths at the entrances to the Bow Bridge. That will involve moving large bushes and planting them into premade holes. Those helping are encouraged to bring leather gloves; some are available if you do not have them.

The party will celebrate Florence Blanchard’s retirement as the president of the Friends of the Howard Preserve.
There’ll be live music, catered food and beverages. The award ceremony will begin at 5 pm.
